Transit cops searching a home?

OK - I found this:
To assist probation officers and parole officers with their supervision and to aid in the general law enforcement need to curb recidivism, many states require parolees and probationers to agree that their conditional release will be subject to curtailment of their normal Fourth Amendment protections. Typically, the released convict agrees to submit his person, property, and residence to warrantless, suspicionless search and seizure by any correctional or law enforcement officer for the duration of the probationary or parole term.

Dunno, but it sure sounds like they weren’t on BART property.

SO if there was a probation violation at the time — will this probationer get charged under the “felony murder rule”?

No one handcuffed, unarmed, and lying face down on the ground to shoot in the back?

Transit cops searching a home?Obviously you don't live in the People's Democratic Republic of California, it's routine here, unless you have the Gay exemption.
